Hi
I`ve got a Panasonic TX-28PK3 telly and a Samsung 511 DVD and I`m getting a `watermark` running through the picture.
Telly has 2 SCARTs, DVD is connected to No 1 and VCR is connected to No 2. VCR is also Panasonic and used Qlink which only works on AV2 on the telly so it has to be this way round.
When I turn on the DVD I can see a light background watermark running from right to left and last night I could clearly see the logo from a P&O advert on TV.
SCART leads are all gold-plated and I swapped them round on the TV to test but got the same problem. I can`t see this problem with the VCR but as the picture`s not as steady it`s difficult to tell.
Does anybody else have this combination/problem or suggestions?

I have a TX32DK1, and run the DVD on AV1, with no problem - other kit is not the same, however. Sorry not more help. Does sound like a SCART interference prob, but you have decent SCARTs.... hmmmmm.

I have had the same problems with a Panasonic and Wharfdale dvd players and my Sony TV and can`t find a cure yet. I`ll let you know if i find anything.

I`ve run the DVD through AV3 (on the front of the TV) and it looks OK so appears to be a problem with the AVs on the back. I even re-routed the cables to make sure they didn`t cross the TV aerial lead but it didn`t make a difference so I`m a bit stuck on this. Maybe one for Panasonic themselves; anybody got contact details for them?

I HAVE JUST SET UP A SYSTEM (PANASONIC DVD & VCR WITH SAMSUNG TV) AND I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. I SOUGHT EXPERT ADVICE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS DUE TO EITHER INFERIOR QUALITY SCARTS OR THE SCART LEADS ARE TOO CLOSE TOGETHER. TRIED TO ADDRESS BOTH OF THE ABOVE WITH NO CHANGE! IF YOU MANAGE TO RESOLVE, LET ME KNOW.........IF I FIND ANYTHING , I`LL DO THE SAME. CHEERS.
